I always loved doing productions in school. In college, I started getting a little more serious.

I lived in New York, and I was the guy who was flying home almost every week, so there was a physical exhaustion and an emotional exhaustion for me, and a need to be home more.

My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.

I certainly have played a lot of strong characters, and I love playing a strong character.

I really had spent my whole life playing soccer, and the fact that I was willing to give that up for theater, that told me I was moving in that direction.

If it's a good role, I'm happy to play it.

I can play a Jewish guy, another Jewish guy, and then another Jewish guy, and then maybe a Cuban guy. Or at least a Middle Eastern guy. But for me, they're all Jews.
